I did some benchmarks, but unfortunately I do not have the code
around. I created QImages and painted them directly in PyQt. It was
reasonable fast, but I couldn't reach the performance I have with a
QGLWidget which delivers easily 300fps or 60fps in 12 different
windows. I'd rather not hack this again since this issue is somewhat
settled for me and I'd prefer spending my coding time on other itches
I have.

I still think that PyQt is a much bigger dependency then PyOpenGL -
and even so: both are optional and only needed when GUI stuff in real
time should be performed.

Cheers,
Holger
